An attempt was made to quantify the location of various oral lesions using panoramic radiographs of benign tumors (20 ameloblastomas, 5 myxomas, 26 odontomas, 10 cementomas and 4 osteomas). The metrical data (integers) were obtained from a conversion table and the abscissa values (to the first decimal place) were obtained from the centroid of each of the tumors. Differential diagnosis among the...

In the past the benign cementoblastoma was recognized in the World Health Organization’s classification of odontogenic tumors as one of the cementoma neoplasias. Recently the benign cementoblastoma is included into ‘Mesenchyme and/or odontogenic ectomesenchyme, with or without odontogenic epithelium’ odontogenic tumors. Benign cementoblastoma has characteristic radiologic and microscopic featur...

A benign cementoblastoma, which is another name for a true cementoma, is a rare neoplasm that develops from odontogenic ectomesenchyme. It is characterized by a mineralized mass attached to the apex of the root produced by neoplastic cementoblasts. More than 75% of cases arise in the mandible, with 90% of them manifesting in the molar and premolar regions. This neoplasm occurs most commonly in ...

We reported a case of a 10-year-old girl with cementifying fibroma and cementoblastoma co-existed in the right mandible. Her right mandible swelled and became asymmetry in one month. Radiographically, a radiopaqueradiolucent lesion in anterior site and a radiopaque mass in posterior site were revealed. With fibrous dysplasia (anterior lesion) and odontoma (posterior lesion) as our initially dia...

Cementoblastoma is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm which is characterized by the proliferation of cellular cementum. Diagnosis of cementoblastoma is challenging because of its protracted clinical, radiographic features, and bland histological appearance; most often cementoblastoma is often confused with other cementum and bone originated lesions. The aim of this article is to overview/revisi...

An intraosseous, slightly painful swelling was noted upon clinical examination of an eight-year-old girl. The swelling was of an unspecified duration and slow growing in nature. A radiopaque mass with a radiolucent periphery attached to the roots of the mandibular right second primary molar was noted on a periapical radiograph. The diagnosis of cementoblastoma was verified by the histologic ass...

Cemento-Ossifying fibromas are rare fibro-osseous lesions that affect the jaw bones and are included in the group of mesodermal odontogenic tumours. Clinically, it is a large asymptomatic tumor of aggressive appearance. Four separate categories have been identified: Periapical cemental dysplasia, benign cementoblastoma, cementifying fibroma and a rare gigantiform variety. It has been suggested ...
